The Best Framer Templates for Freelancers & Personal Sites in 2026
Three Framer resume and personal site templates compared for freelancers and job seekers who want a link, not a PDF, to send instead.
A PDF resume can't do what a website can
A link is easier to send than an attachment, it never gets mangled by someone else's software opening it wrong, and it can actually show your work instead of just describing it in bullet points. A Framer resume or personal site template gets you there without turning "update my resume" into a design project.
1. Resumx — by Justin Farrugia
Resumx is a free, one-page template that treats your resume as a single scroll rather than a multi-page portfolio — fast to fill in, with light and dark mode built in, so there's no separate design decision to make before you're ready to send the link.
Best for: Anyone who wants a resume site live in under an hour, no multi-page structure needed.
2. ResumeFlow — by Freelancer Deven
ResumeFlow, also free, adds more portfolio depth than Resumx — dedicated project showcase and experience timeline sections, useful if you want the site to double as a small work sample rather than a text-only resume.
Best for: Freelancers who want their resume site to also carry a small portfolio.
3. Kernic — by Fayzora
Ours. Kernic leans more portfolio-first than either free option above — built for designers who want project case studies to lead, with career details supporting them rather than the other way around. It's built to be filled in and live within about an hour, similar in speed to Resumx but with more room for the work itself.
Best for: Designers whose project work should be the main event, not a secondary section.

Frequently asked questions
Is a website resume better than a PDF for job applications?
It depends on the application process — many ATS systems still expect a PDF upload. A website resume works best as a supplementary link in your email signature, LinkedIn, or cover letter rather than a full PDF replacement.
Can I connect a custom domain to a free Framer resume site?
Yes, custom domain connection is a Framer hosting feature available regardless of which template — free or paid — you use, though it typically requires a paid Framer hosting plan rather than the free template itself costing anything extra.
How often should I update a personal website versus a static PDF?
Since it's just a Framer page edit rather than a document redesign, updating a website resume after every new role or project takes minutes — worth doing far more often than most people update a PDF.
How to choose
If you just need a fast, one-page resume site, Resumx. If you want a bit more portfolio structure without paying, ResumeFlow. And if your projects are the strongest part of your story, Kernic is built to let them lead.
